We are in between the eclipses and they have been hitting people pretty hard. Like this chair above, the eclipses are throwing us out of our comfort zones, making us stand up and do the work.   I found that this time has made me contemplate what isn’t working in my life, or what is in my life that isn’t working.  And to do so I really needed to deconstruct and simplify my everyday experiences.

This “chair” is from a series of impractical household items called The Uncomfortable by architect Katerina Kamprani.   Her goal is to “deconstruct the invisible design language of simple everyday objects and tweak their fundamental properties in order to surprise you and make you laugh…but also to help you appreciate the complexity and depth of interactions with the simplest of objects around us.”  I guess the eclipses are trying to get me to see how I design the simple things in my life and how intricate that actually can be.

 

P.S. Remember signs with an * it a big week for you.  Cancer this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year.

 

Aries

Nine of Cups – This is your second nine in a row, so let’s dive a bit deeper into Nines.  Nine means you are near the end of a cycle or completion of something.  You are on the last stretch. Last week the Wands had you preparing for this last bit, and this week the Nine of Cups is wanting you to be in the moment and experience it.  You are so focused on the goal you are forgetting to be in the now.    This week will only come once – feel it – be in it.

 

Taurus

Ten of Cups – The Ten of Cups represents bliss and the completion of an emotional cycle.  This week take notice of all those that love and support you.  You have come through a lot of emotional trials and exaltations with this group of dear ones.  Now is the time to rejoice in the joy, love and happiness.

 

Gemini

*Lovers – Two big weeks for you.  Last week the Hierophant challenged you to hone your skills on how you can teach and support others.  This week the Lovers continues the focus of working with people.  But where last week you were the teacher, this week you are the co-creator.  This week it is vital you look at how you interact with those around you.  Whether that is creating projects and/or generating atmospheres, you are co-creating all that surrounds you.  The challenge is to design equality and balance – remember equal does not mean the same.  Celebrate and support yours and others uniqueness.  Your motto: Variety is the spice of life.

 

Cancer

Seven of Cups – Last week the Five of Wands and the High Priestess, your major arcane card for Cancers’ new birth year, came to guide you not only through last week’s chaos, but throughout the coming year.  The aspects that are resonating until next July are intuition, serenity, cycles, introspection and the big picture.  This year is a spirit quest that will combine the past, present and future.  It may not bring order to the chaos, but it will bring a sense of peace and acceptance of the natural flow. This week, the Seven of Cups joins to the Priestess’ message by advising you to dream bigger but stay realistic when waking.  You need your dreams to help expand your horizons but you need the clarity of your conscious mind to obtain them.

 

Leo

Nine of Swords and Knight of Swords – These two cards are warning you to be careful as you are preparing for your next birth year. The Nine of Swords advise that over thinking has been giving you trouble, and it is time to put needless worries aside.  And the Knight of Swords chimes in saying you are rushing through your life not really experiencing it and/or you have been prone to mishap due to rushing through things.  They challenge you to spend this week letting go of your bad habits of worrying about the past – that you cannot change- and the future – which you cannot predict.  This week you need to be conscious of how you are moving into your coming year.

 

Virgo

Six of Pentacles – Last week Temperance the card of moderation, harmony and adaptability challenged you to balancing. Whether that is a simple as balancing your check book or diet, balancing work with play, or balancing your yin and yang of your spirit.  Re-calibration for satiation and ease was your motto in all things. Well the theme of balancing continues with the Six of Pentacles.  However, this card has you balancing karma and debts.  Take this week to pay off your debts and fill it with good deeds.  This positivism (or negativism if you choose) will come back to you threefold in the coming months.

 

Libra

Queen of Pentacles – The Queen of Pentacles comes when you need to enjoy the life you have worked so hard to get.  This is a great time to take a vacation, have a spa day, go out to your favorite restaurant.  Indulge this week, you not only need it – you deserve it.

 

Scorpio

Eight of Cups – Last week, the Emperor came reminding you that you have a good foundation, but you need to start building to the next level.   This week the Eight of Cups continues this theme of building but it is challenging you to release a few things.  You need the room to build more into your life.  Whether that is cleaning out some closet space or cleaning out some heart space, you got to dump out some of the old to pour in some of the new.

 

Sagittarius

Five of Wands – The Five of Wands is the card of chaos.  This week you need to watch where you take things that can create disharmony.  For example, instead of thinking that someone is arguing with you – think of it as creative differences or that you are able to see a perspective outside of your normal or societies thought patterns.  Think of these chaotic moments as insights into the diversities of perspectives.  In other words don’t take anything personal this week.

 

Capricorn

*World – The World is the card of completion of a cycle.  This card is perfect timing with the lunar eclipse happening in Capricorn on Tuesday to Wednesday.  This week you can create some pretty amazing transformations and healing mojo by attuning yourself to what needs to be released to ease into the next cycle.  The challenge and paradox of this card asks you:  If you could have it all what are you willing to let go to do it?

 

Aquarius

Ten of Pentacles – The Ten of Pentacles this week is a great time to finish up a project.  Get one item/project off your to-do list.  And before you start on something else, the true goal is to enjoy and bask in its completion.  This week should ultimately be about relaxing and enjoying.

 

Pisces

Six of Cups – Spend time in the past this week. It’s a great time to look at old pictures and reminisce with loved ones.  This rumination has some emotional messages for you that will help you unravel the mysteries of the future.

 

 

 

May light be on you, around you, and within you,

Nina
